A string s of length n (1≤n≤26) is called alphabetical if it can be obtained using the following algorithm:
first, write an empty string to s (i.e. perform the assignment s := “”);
then perform the next step n times;
at the i-th step take i-th lowercase letter of the Latin alphabet and write it either to the left of the string s or to the right of the string s (i.e. perform the assignment s := c+s or s := s+c, where c is the i-th letter of the Latin alphabet).
In other words, iterate over the n first letters of the Latin alphabet starting from ‘a’ and etc. Each time we prepend a letter to the left of the string s or append a letter to the right of the string s. Strings that can be obtained in that way are alphabetical.
For example, the following strings are alphabetical: “a”, “ba”, “ab”, “bac” and “ihfcbadeg”. The following strings are not alphabetical: “z”, “aa”, “ca”, “acb”, “xyz” and “ddcba”.
From the given string, determine if it is alphabetical.
Input
The first line contains one integer t (1≤t≤10^4) — the number of test cases. Then t test cases follow.
Each test case is written on a separate line that contains one string s. String s consists of lowercase letters of the Latin alphabet and has a length between 1 and 26, inclusive.
Output
Output t lines, each of them must contain the answer to the corresponding test case. Output YES if the given string s is alphabetical and NO otherwise.
You can output YES and NO in any case (for example, strings yEs, yes, Yes and YES will be recognized as a positive answer).

题意分析
生成一个字符串(字符都是小写字母)。生成规则如下:
·初始字符串是空的。
·每次在前面或后面加入一个字符,第 ii 次加入的字符是小写字母表中第 ii 个小写字母。
给一些字符串,请判断是否可以被生成出来。
做法
显然若字符串中字符的出现并不连续或者同一个字符出现了两次,那么该串是不行的。
举个栗子:dba,bab。
然后我们看:每次字母从小到大加,且加在两侧,那是不是中间的字符会比旁边的小呢?
有了这些结论,这题就做完了,上代码。
#include<bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; int main() { int t; cin>>t; while(t--) { string s; cin>>s; int l=0; int r=s.size()-1; while(l<=r) { if((s[l]-'a')==r-l) l++; else if((s[r]-'a')==r-l) r--; else break; } if(l>r) cout<<"YES"<<endl; else cout<<"NO"<<endl; } }
